Those were strippers?

Ah, man. Y'all musta gotten me drunk.

I thought that was Bust having a seizure.

Does this mean we have to cancel the strippers??

Looks like we will have another supervisor. My wife Chris will be attending her first tech day!
That's cool...I might be bringing Jacqueline.

I will be riding up and back with thompsonian Saturday. I am just coming to hang out, but i can bring my Carbtune and Steering head bearing spanner if needed.
Cool! If you have room, sure - bring your Carbtune and steering head spanner. I have a spanner as well, but it can never hurt to bring another along.

I am thinking about riding out. If I do I will tent.

I don't need anything done and can help, but the most important thing I need to bring is Bill's "unbreakable cup". He left it in my garage. DO NOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING BREAKABLE to make a drink in!

Hey Andy - thanks for the invite. I'll plan on stopping in. Not sure yet if I'll bring the Feej - I had a tupperware party a couple of weeks ago so I'm pretty up to date. If I bring the Jeep I'll haul some tools and throw a tent in there too in case I drink myself under the table.

I've gotta find that new liver soon.

 
I am trying to figure out if I should bring wire and tools. Does anyone plan on doing electrical work that could use a few supplies?

 
If it happens it will be just me. Spanky is in for EOM though.
Good enough. Hope ya make it up, otherwise we'll see you at EOM.

Cool. Lemme know if you need the address.

Thompsonian is planning on wiring in a Fuzeblock. DesignFlaw usually has a stash 'O stuff, but extra wire and whatnot is never a bad idea if you have the space.

 
Anything extra electrical wise that I may forget is greatly appreciated. Cause I'm forgetful like that....

 
Well going over my bike after NAFO, it now appears I could use a hand replacing headlights and I have an intermittent LR4 that needs some wiring attention.

 
Got an email from Bust last night - he and MizzBust can't make it this go-round, but they're still planning on going to EOM.

I'll throw my hat in the ring.....

I might show up in the evening. On Saturday. Mostly for food. And entertainment.

But I gotta leave after a few hours.

I've got farm work duties for that weekend.

I mean, you're only like 65 miles away from me..... heck, that's easy peasy.

i'm breathing a sigh of relief that Bust can't make it...... now I won't have to worry about bending over to pick up any tools I drop.

 
I heard from the local guy - Woovis - yesterday. he's pretty sure he is gonna have his '04 there for valves, so it's looking like the big-ticket activities are gonna be:

* 3 valve checks

* 2 ES forks

So let's talk parts...

Valves: you're gonna need O-rings (including spares so that the first one doesn't get torn to ****) and maybe we should have a valve cover gasket handy just in case, and a jug of fresh coolant. We should have the shims covered.

Forks: fork erl, obviously. I'm gonna grab some for Griff from the Iron Pony. Allen - are you bringing your own? I can get some for you and have it ready, but the delivery cost is gonna be significant. Or just bring some good beer. Also, what aboot fork internals? Are any bushings needed?

 
I'm good with valve check parts, except for coolant. Git that locally. Geek - u got my erl covered for the forks. I'm bringing fork seals and dust covers.

Andy, I'd appreciate you picking up oil for me too. What is good beer for you...everyone is different! I think business are required do I'll check my local dealer, unless griff already ordered them and can provide the part number.
